You and your rose-colored bee-wings
I wish they were rose-colored. I'd probably have a much better shot a convincing people I'm all cool and stuff.

Those are my rose color goggles. Underneath are my thick, clear-lens prescription glasses.

To me there is a larger more significant continuum. My background, what I study, my profession, what I do in my spare time, my traveling, all relate and connect to each other in a larger scheme with long term goals, mountains to conquer, and plenty of self discovery to be made. I don't live for a single day, I don't even plan to limit myself for a life time, I recognize that some of the actions I've made are going to echo outside my life's personal sphere. And I still aim to achieve more than that.
Some people were taught to take from world religions one major thing. It could be their savior, prophet, heroes and kings of the olden days, the gods of their pantheon. I see the world differently, I see it almost in a Shakespearean sense. I have a part to play, and I determine the extent and complexity of this part. If the gods existed, they would not get my worship, but most likely my challenges. I would not accept that everything is in the hands of the gods, but that mortal men can complicate the schemes and interests of the gods while pursuing their own goals.

Mood does play a part, but at the same time I recogize that my thoughts and ideas affect my mood and subtly alter my perception or experience. Overall, my brain is definitely wired differently than most. It's like the entire universe is here to amuse me - as I am so often given to laughing or making funny remarks. I guess it's part of living a life that does not recognize sin or evil as being existent realities.
